The QuickRoll app is a neat addition to your gaming aides. While it was designed for D20 like games, it can be used for most systems. It runs nicely and allows you the ability to name your die rolls. I used it for a game of Silent Death which has lots of dice combinations. I found it was a huge benefit to speeding up the game.

It maintains a history of die rolls which has many uses and it is there you can see what individual dice were rolled. I haven’t tested how distributed the die rolls are. They claim it is better than many of the other systems. I’ll test this at some time.

My only gripe is that I’d like more die handling abilities. If generic functions were allowed it might work for any gaming system. Currently there is no way to handle Hero System damage rolls other than manually. I’m sure gamers of other systems are also left wanting.

It can still be used for those games and can still add to efficiency. Also you can track multiple characters with it. That’s a super nice addition!

It is my belief that any game that can be considered well balanced, must involve some hidden information and a complete rejection of Nash Equilibriums in tactical decisions. While those Equilibriums are good when the game involves cooperation between subsets of players, they are harmful when it comes to individual tactics. There must always be […]

An evolutionary update is in the works for the ACW game Devil to Pay. After 4 years of running these at conventions we have a few reasonable rule updates that will improve the game without changing it too much. There are various abuses we have seen that are being tweaked out of existence. They were […]

I finally have some time and I’ve updated the Yard Sale with tons of miniatures from the Napoleonic period. These are all marked 50% off of retail. All proceeds go to the widow of a local war gamer, and the figures come from his large collection. Help out his family this Christmas!

It’s been a busy day. A couple of days ago I was in a car accident and my car was totaled. Luckily no one was injured and we both had insurance. I spent today looking at cars. It wasn’t a bad experience. There are a lot of models out there but the technology has changed […]
